Please describe the problem:
A small splash screen prevents from launching new applications (at least gnome-terminal and gconf-editor)


Steps to reproduce:
Trying to find ways to customize the splash screen, I created one very small to see what would happen. The "splash screen" is attached with the bug.
1. Set the /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image to the path of the test splash screen
2. Close the session and log in again


Actual results:
1. The splash screen doesn't disappear from the background. Changing to another virtual desktop and coming again, or moving some window above it won't delete it.
2. It becomes impossible to launch some new applications: at least gnome-terminal and gconf-editor won't launch (so it's hard to set the key back to its default value to correct the problem, or you have to switch to console mode)

Expected results:
Show a small splash screen, even blurry or bad looking, but that would disapear and that would not prevent me from launching other apps.

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
The test splash screen is attached. A trick to be able to switch back to normal, is use nautilus to replace the bad splash screen file by one with a decent size, and log again.
